“In the last 10 to 11 months, we have been able to
attract two very major (foreign) investments into the key sectors of the economy,”
said Skye Bank Gambia Limited’ s CEO and Managing Director Akim Yusuf, at a
press conference held on Wednesday at the bank’s head office on Kairaba Avenue.
The conference was meant to showcase the numerous
achievements of the bank as it clocks three years in July this year in The
Gambia.
One of the investments is in agriculture, Mr Yusuf
said, adding that the bank has already attracted US$2m investment into the
poultry industry of The Gambia.
“The factory, that we attracted the investment to, was
virtually dead but today it has been revived and revamped thanks to the capital
the investor pumped in there,” the Skye Bank CEO pointed out.
